hey guys i was just wondering if the 1st generation Neon with the SOHC had a speed limiter? and also how fast (top speed) could a 95 Plymouth Neon Highline with the MTX and SOHC? i know that temperature, road condition and so on go in this factor but how fast do u guys think? its bone stock. in like 1999 or so i read i think in Car and Driver that they got a 1st generation up to 121 with the MTX. but not sure if it was a SOHC or DOHC.

 

sohc...i dont know if auto makes a difference, but is 117....i got my dohc mtx to 129...stock

 

SOHC = 118 MPH
DOHC = 130 MPH

R/T & ACR's = no speed limiter

 

118..sweet...

 

My bad the above info is incorrect. Here is the right info:

All neons have a 118MPH speed limiter, except for the R/T's and ACR's which have a 130MPH speed limiter. The 95 ACR's don't have a speed limiter.

 

weren't the 95 ACRs like full race ready (minus a roll cage) like as in no radio no power windows, no abs and so on.?

 

is that entirely correct though???..just wondering because i have hit 129 in my r/t with no problem, but it had a pcm from a dohc auto..in it since my r/t one got fried

 

You sure it was 129? The speedometer isn't very accurate over a certain MPH.

 

idk if my neon's previous owner modified the ecu at all or anything like that because he did change alot of stuff but i know i have had my sohc atx neon over 135-140. i had a friend behind me in his eclipse v6 w mods and i was pulling away from him. he told me that wen i let off ( people in my car were complaining) he was doing 135 so that all i know. again i dnt know how accurate his spedo is either

I dont see why they wouldn't complain. Think about it. Your going more than double the speed limit, maybe 3 depending where you were. Their lives rest in your hands and your in a car that weighs nothing, and that if it hit a hit ditch or another car, would look like a hiroshima.

That kinda of speed should be kept for a track man. PLus the fact top speed really proves nothing. Its how fast you get there.
